These plant based sponge scourers are a great plastic free alternative to the standard yellow and green scourers that are widely available in the shops. The abrasive side is tough but gentle on non-stick cookware, and the absorbent side is good for cleaning up spills and wiping down surfaces. 7 x 11 x 2cm.
Why we love it
The absorbent sponge side is made from cellulose, a wood pulp fibre, and the scouring pad is from the loofah plant. Loofah plants are a bit like courgettes and cucumbers, are very fibrous when ripe and have effective abrasive qualities when dried.
To prolong life, after each use rinse in clean water and allow to dry out to prevent mould. The sponges can be freshened up occasionally by washing in the dishwasher or washing machine at 30°C or 40°C. Well looked after sponges should last for over a month.
Once well used, cut up the sponge to speed up composting and place in home compost bin, wormery or organic waste bin. Alternatively, it can be placed in with your usual household waste. The materials are stitched together instead of glued meaning they can be home composted, unlike many products labelled 'biodegradable'.
Sold singly or as a pack of four. Each scourer measures approximately 7cm x 11cm x 2cm.
Replacing plastic kitchen scourers with these plant based ones means not adding microplastics into your home and into our waterways. Also less plastic is being produced from extracted oil so is a step away from fossil fuel reliance, and a step towards more a more sustainable way of living.
Designed in the UK and currently produced responsibly in China until local suppliers can be sourced. The supplier has been audited and meets the high standards expected in Europe. Comes packaged in a recyclable card sleeve from sustainably managed forests.

I bought some lovely pressies for my nieces. Great selection, fair priced and good to know ethically sourced.
Had a good experience from this independent retailer. Straightforward purchasing, prompt delivery, and all items were beautifully and sustainably gift wrapped. Will be using them again!
I purchased a few gifts for a friend who had just had a baby. I bought her newborn the Baby Threads Bunny Comforter and the Bird & Kitten Teethers. I also bought the Panda Organic Bath Mitt for the baby's big brother. The gifts arrived promptly, were beautiful and of great quality. My friend loved them. My kids are all grown up but I will be back as soon as I have any grandchildren!
Can’t express enough the quality of the baskets I ordered. Excellent communication and delivery. Won’t hesitate to order other items.
